MORE RAILROAD TALK. otill Rumored That the Frisco Sys tem Wants to Get Into Brunswick. In discussing tne railroad situation m general, the Macon Telegraph ot jt-sicrday says: The rumors of railway deals iu which Macon and Georgia aro directly interested are slill life, although tile sin lace indications do not suggest any immediate change in the present rail road status. It is generally believed that the Sea board will in the near future control and operate tno Macon, uublin aim •savannah. That there is a good rea so tor mis belief is undeniable, am. sucii a consummation is likely at any time. k ' „. xue report sent out some time ago that the T risen was about to acquire an- Central of Georgia, and which was vigorously denieu at lie time/ has nov oecn revived.

DELUGE OF BILLS fl IS LOOKED FOB BEYOND APPROPRIATION BILLS* NOTHING WILL RECEIVE MORE ATTENTION THAN TRUSTS< Question Will Receive Immediate Con sideration .of Congress—Some Think Sherman Law Ample for Protection—Other Matters. j Washington, December 1. The nouse convened to enter on tho session of the Fifty-seveutTi congress, and a perfect deluge 0 f lulls dealing with the trust question in all its phases were thrown into Uu legisla tive hopper, u is admitted on all hands that this will be the most im portant topic of discussion. Indeed, loaders incline to the belief that bo .vend the appropriation bills and ro, tmo legislation, it wUt " bo unv only general subject on which there la a chance of action at the short session., As yct - llle leaders have ioffcidateu no measure, and there exists a pretty wide divergence of opinion as to whau van or should bo done. The presidents recommendations on the Subject are awaited with interest, fine most con servalive opinion among tae republi can loaders seems to favor an appro- filiation for tho enforcement of the Sherman anti-trust law. Such an ap proprriation, it is pointed out, couMba, placed on one of lhe'regOTar' appfgP pnafion bids and put through both houses without difficulty, whereas any amendment to the law Itself, no mat ter, iiow conservative, likely would meet opposition. 0 Wants $500,000 to Fight Trusts. Mr. Hepburn, of lo_wa, ekcairman o tlie interstate and foreign commerce committee, is one of taose who beueve that, the Sherman law, if enforced, is • sufficient to meet the situation, ami tomorrow lie will itfi'roduce a bill ap propriating $500,000 to bo used by the department oi, justice in prosecutions under tho present law. li is not improbable that when the leaders ascertain exactly what can be deno tTlal a caucus of tn<s republicans will be called to agree on a measure. Meantimo tbo trust bills introduced will bo referred to the judiciary com mittee. There is soma question of jurisdic um. il a, bill invoked the interstate, commerce clause of the constitution, it. properly should go to the commerce committee, and, if the taxing power qf the government, to tho Ways no & Means committee. But to secure uni formity, all bills dealing with the sub ject have gone heretofore to thL ju diciary committee, and this practice will be followed unless a light for jti rmlsdiction is made. Will Rush Appropriation On, the leaders have already resolvedifpi expedite tho appropriation bills aff : much as possible in order to allow ti9| largest margin of time for other mas ters. Mr. Cannon, chairman'gf the ap- * . .opriations committee, believes that tne legislative, executive and judicial' and the pension appropriation bills can be disposed of before tlie holidays. One of the first things the appropria tions committee will he called on to do, however, is to prepare a bill to provide for the Coal Strike Commis sion. Judge Gray, chairman of the commission, has written Mr. Canon, asking for an appropriation of $50,000' to defray the expenses of the commis sion, to pay its clerical force, and to provide such compensation for its members as tho president may fix. The appropriation committee will meet tomorrow to rpepare a bill, which, it is believed, will be passed this week. No opposition to it from the nnority is an ticipated. HOLIDAY EXCURSIONS. • B. & B. Will Run Them Along Their, Line. The Brrunswick & Bir-uingham aril road will shortly annoutfW Jorne very low rates over their litto to this city, duing the holidays. <iK-T It. is the purposo of the B. &. B. to bring many people to Brunswick dur-. ing December, and from every station on their line a very low rate for the round trip will be offered. This is, in deed, a good movement on the part of the new road, and shows that, they ar<- working for Brunswick and our
